A zebra crossing has been labelled as the safest in Britain by puzzled pedestrians because it's at the end of a dead-end road.
People crossing the road in Filton, Bristol, have been left scratching their heads at the bizarre installation to help them cross a road with no traffic on it.
The pointless crossing is just inches away from a brick wall - far too close for any traffic to get anywhere near it without having to reverse backwards.
It measures just a few metres long and joins two small footpaths either side of the road which weave around the edge of the University of the West of England's Frenchay campus.
Stumped student Lizzie Ballard said: 'It's completely ridiculous - I don't know why it's where it is but it gives us a good laugh every morning.
'You hardly ever see any cars coming down the rest of the road let along right down to the end - it's so quiet.'
